The Quick Weight Loss Diet
I've never been a big fan of the quick weight loss diet approach. Too often I have seen people lose weight quickly and happily in the beginning only to put it all (and sometimes more) back on again later on, but some people seem to do very well on them.You can definitely lose weight fast on some of these programs but if you want the weight to stay off and the loss be permanent then it must be accompanied by some real lifestyle changes. There needs to be a shift in your overall attitude to food and why you eat, your eating habits and the way you visualize yourself (all mentioned elsewhere on this site). The quick weight loss diet comes in myriads of forms but some are not healthy and do things like reduce muscle weight rather than reducing stored fat. I've had a look at a number of weight loss diets and the best that I have found which gives excellent results and optimum health is called the
Diet Solution Program
by Isabel De Los Rios (a nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle coach who counsels clients on all principles of good health, including nutrition, stress management, physical fitness, sleep habits, and healthy lifestyles. She teaches health and weight loss from a holistic approach, incorporating all aspects of healthy living). The program works by first determining what metabolic type you are which enables you to work out the correct ratio of proteins, carbohydrates and fats that you should have in your diet (if you have been on diets before and they haven't worked it's probably because this point is so often over looked). Next you create your personal meal plan and portion sizes to suit you using the best quality foods that suit your metabolic type. This produces the best health and optimum fat burning. She also includes things like a quick start guide, a recipe guide and a success journal which helps to both motivate and keep track of your daily progress. It's an excellent well thought out program so if you hunger for a diet (excuse the pun) I suggest you give it a try. Another handy tool to have is Meal Planning Software. Meal planning is often a major problem with any diet and yet it is of major importance. Many people end up giving up diets or eating plans because they are unable to endure the ongoing difficulty of planning each meal to fit into the diet. A great way to make meal planning really easy is to use
Meals Plan 101 meal planning software,
it can make all the difference as to whether you are successful or not. The one size fits all approach just doesn't work, the software adjusts everything to suit the individual. It works out calories, portions, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and has over 13,000 foods to choose from (enough for most people). It also takes into account your height, weight, gender and exercise program. You may find that combining this with the Diet Solution Program is a real winning combination and if you include Hypnosis for Weight Loss you will have all bases covered and be doing everything possible to achieve and maintain your ideal body weight.
